WSOP Final Table Canadian

As a reminder, the WSOP Main Event final table is just around the corner and a canuck is going to be there. Twenty-six year old Scott Montgomery from Perth Ontario is going to be showing up at that table with every intention of taking down the grand prize.

Montgomery has been saying from day one that he is going to win the event and we will just wait and see. He is young and ambitious and on a poker table he can be a mad man.

He made it to the final table at the WPT L.A. Poker Classic where he started off as the chip leader and ended up going out in fifth place. He did happen to have major competition at that final table including the eventual winner Phil Ivey.

Has he learned from his earlier experience? We will have to see. He studied mathematics at the University of Waterloo, another great Canadian institution, and it wasn't long before the lure of poker pots had him hooked. He claims that since winning his first tournament where he took home $900.00, he has never had to make another deposit. Interesting hmmm. Perhaps mathematics is a helpful backgroud for this crazy game.

There is no question that no matter how Montgomery finishes at the Main Event this year, he will be a crazy canuck to watch in the future. Go get em Scott!!
